The creamy stuff can stay in the fridge because everyone will be scooping up Healthier Potato Salad instead! This take on the cookout classic swaps out artificial ingredients for fresher, more natural flavors. Each bite is a blend of savory baby red potatoes, refreshing celery, crunchy red onion, and sweet carrots tossed in a nourishing, sweet and savory dressing. Healthier Potato Salad not only tastes better than its fabricated counterpart, but it elevates your meal too!
